Edcon Steel Tips

These items are only available in 1000mm or 500mm (or smaller for tool bits). We can cut these items to your size, if required, but you will need to purchase in these minimum quantities for these products.

Tool Bits cannot be cut on our saws - unfortunately they're too hard for our blades.

Surface Preparation and Coatings

Precision Ground refers to the unique and high quality surface finish of these products. Precision flat ground to 4 edges with machining allowance manufactured in accordance with factory standards means diameter or thickness and width are precision ground. Width may be ground or milled, length machined, with decarburisation-free surface, packaged with corrosion protection.
